Thomas Christiansen paid with his job for Leeds United's poor run of recent form, which saw them fail to win a game since their 2-1 Boxing Day away win against the Championship's bottom club Burton Albion. 

The Leeds job was Christiansen's first job in English football and a lack of discipline and consistency from his players saw a promotion push fade to the extent that they sit tenth at the time of his dismissal, seven points off the play-offs.

Yorkshire Evening Post journalist revealed that Christiansen holds no ill feeling towards the club and returned this morning to say his goodbyes at the club's training ground, showing his class in the process.

Leeds fans reacted on Twitter to the news that Christiansen left his players on good terms. The responses largely praised the class of the departing manager and there seemed to be a great deal of sadness that things haven't worked out for him at Elland Road.

We've taken a closer look at the best of the reaction...
